'tribal Territories' from the Humber to the Tyne: an Analysis of Artefactual and Settlement Patterning in the Late Iron Age and Early Roman Periods (Bar British) Catherine Rosemary Ross

This study reexamines the evidence for indigenuous society in the north of England in the Late Iron Age and early post-Conquest period. Catherine Ross first surveys modern work on the region, and on the Brigantes in particular, before appraising in turn Roman epipgraphy and literary sources, place-name evidence, material culture and settlement patterns. She concludes that there is no evidence for one overarching tribal identity, and instead tentatively identifies six distinct regional groupings.
